Pleasant and cool weather today

Short Term Forecast: It is a clear and much cooler start to this Wednesday. Temperatures are in the lower 40s.

We will have a gorgeous day as high pressure sits over the Southeast U.S. Expect sunny skies and much cooler temperatures in the wake of the cold front that moved through Baton Rouge yesterday. Highs temperatures will be in the lower 60s.

More clear skies are on tap tonight with some chilly temperatures. Lows will dip into the upper 30s.

Week Ahead: The area of high pressure will remain over us on Thursday, and that will make for another nice day. We will have a few high clouds streaming by us, so I'll call for mostly sunny skies. It will still be cool with highs in the lower 60s. Thursday Night will be mostly clear and chilly with lows in the lower 40s.

We will start to warm up on Friday as the area of high pressure moves to the east of Louisiana. This will shift the winds from the northeast to the southeast. That will bring in the warm air from the Gulf. We will become partly cloudy with highs in the lower 70s. Friday Night will be mostly clear with lows in the upper 40s.

Weekend Outlook: Another day of partly cloudy skies is in the forecast for Saturday. We will stay warm, but become a little more humid with highs in the lower 70s. Saturday Night will be partly cloudy with lows only in the upper 50s.

*Remember to Spring Forward one hour Saturday Night for Daylight Saving Time!!!*

The weather will start to change on Sunday as another cold front moves closer to Baton Rouge. Most of the day will be dry, but it looks like rain and storms will arrive late in the day. Therefore, we will be partly to mostly cloudy with isolated showers developing. Highs will be in the mid 70s.

The cold front will move into Baton Rouge on Sunday Night. This will bring us scattered showers and thunderstorms. Lows will be in the lower 50s.

Enjoy the sunshine and comfortable weather. Have a great day! -Dave

The Unseasonably Cool Weather Continues

Short Term Forecast : It is a very cold morning across the Capital City with clear skies and temperatures in the 30s. A light freeze is expected! I hope that you brought in your plants last night. Take that jacket with you this morning. An area of high pressure remains over the Southeast U.S. today. This will keep us sunny and with the northwest winds over us, we will stay cool. High temperatures will be in the upper 50s. Another freeze is expected tonight for the Baton Rouge area. We will be clear with calm winds and very good radiational cooling. Low temperatures will fall into the upper 20s to lower 30s. The NWS has issued a Freeze Warning for areas along and north of the I-10/12 corridor from 2 AM to 8 AM Wednesday Morning. The freeze could last 2 to 6+ hours and that would be long enough to kill any vegetation. Make sure you bring in your plants or at least cover them tonight! Bundle up! Week Ahead : The area of high pressure will stay put through

Major Snowstorm Headed To Northeast US Tomorrow

For all of my friends and family that live in the Northeast US...here is my latest analysis of the winter storm heading your way on Friday into Saturday: The same area of low pressure that brought the heavy rain and thunderstorms to Louisiana last night and this morning will be moving up the East Coast on Friday. It will get much stronger and become a Nor' Easter that will impact all the major cities from Philly to NYC to Boston as well as inland areas. Delmarva to NJ Coastal Areas : Winter Storm Warning in effect from Friday AM until Saturday AM! It looks like it will start out as a brief period of snow along the coast in the morning then change into a windy rain during the day. Then go to a heavy snow late Friday into Saturday Morning. Snow accumulations of 4-8" are possible. Some minor ice accumulations are possible too. Winds will be sustained around 30+ mph and coastal erosion will be possible too. NE PA : Winter Storm Warning from 10 am Friday until 7 am Sat

Today Is The 5th Anniversary of Hurricane Gustav

Early in the morning on September 1, 2008, Labor Day, Hurricane Gustav made landfall near Cocodrie, LA. It was a strong category 2 hurricane with 110 mph winds. At one point, right before Gustav made landfall over Western Cuba, winds were as high as 150 mph (Category 4). It did weaken as it crossed Cuba, but did regain strength as it sat in the middle of the Gulf as it became a Category 3 storm with winds of 115 mph. This storm became the worst one ever to impact Baton Rouge, LA. Sustained winds around 70 mph with a 91 mph wind gust was reported at Baton Rouge Metro Airport, 108 and 117 mph wind gusts were reported in Houma, LA. That caused significant damage and, at one point, the entire city of Baton Rouge was without power. Hurricane Gustav moved slowly inland and the eastern-edge of the eye wall moved along the Mississippi River into Baton Rouge. It continued northward through West Feliciana & Pointe Coupee Parishes. The worst damage was seen along this line. Area
